Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of petroleum products distribution in the gray multi-criteria supply chain for the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company in the Fars region. In the present study, considering the uncertainty conditions and green performance indices, first, by applying gray group decision-making method, the causal relationships between the points of view of the improved balanced scorecard are improved, their effectiveness and finally the weight of the perspectives have been studied. Then, using the network analysis process method, the importance of the sub-indices of each perspective was determined, and with the help of the VIKOR gray method, the products of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company in the Fars region were evaluated and ranked. Therefore, the results show that the furnace is in the first place and kerosene is in the last place. The research findings help company executives and other organizations improve their strengths and reduce their weaknesses in order to increase performance.
